Ezra,
It's almost definitely a firewall problem. Are you sure your firewall is
mapping the ports for any outside address? (it would be a bit unusual, more
common is to specify the exact machines that are allowed in). But if you can
get to the Oracle machine via ssh, there is a simple workaround: You can
tunnel the port you want to access through ssh. Use something like "ssh -N -L
<remoteport>:<oracleip>:<localport> tunnelhost". The tunnelhost will have to
be able to access the oracle host using its private IP. Check man ssh for the
exact syntax - I may be missing a flag or two ;-)
